In a Venturi tube, the heights of the water columns in tubes A, B and C show the pressure
           at X, Y and Z respectively as shown in Figure 2.47.

                The velocity of water depends on the cross-sectional area      http://bit.ly/35IDnG6
           of the tube. The smaller the cross-sectional area, the higher the
           velocity of the water. From X to Y, the velocity of the water
           increases and the water pressure decreases. From Y to Z, the   Info GALLERY
